Large breed dogs are often prone to joint issues, this is for a number of reasons, but regardless of "why", it's important to understand:

1. How to exercise your dog correctly.
Believe me, many people get this wrong.

2. If your dog is already being affected.
Continuing certain exercises or lifestyle factors can worsen already affected joints.

3. Does your dog need and can they find some relief from pain?
While Myotherapy can offer pain relief, there are lots of things you can do yourself to take the load off your dog's joints.

Ignoring issues or waiting until they are super obvious and painful for your dog only causes discomfort and prolonged recovery. Worst case scenario, surgery.

I'm happy to still offer advice, but for hands-on work, I have a number of people I can refer you to 💙

It's definitely bittersweet 💙

Jellybean says hi 👋

Thank you for everyone's well wishes and support as I become a human mum 😝

I have enjoyed learning, improving, trying new things, and even getting frustrated.

Without challenge, there is no growth, and this business has certainly tested me in every which way 😅

Will keep you all updated on Jellybean and continue to share lots of doggy advice 💙

Today marks my official maternity leave, but I am serious when I say you are welcome to contact me for all your doggy-related help 🤗

I received a reply on a recent story asking how they can feed their 50kg Sarplaninac more affordably.

I made a quick video showing my thought process on how I would go about doing this and also compared the price and ingredients to 2 common raw food brands.

My Tips
- Know your starting point.
Calculate how much your dog needs to eat and adjust from there.

- Stay away from pre-mixed options.
They're often more expensive and don't allow you to customise anything to your dog. "Complete meals" must contain bone content which means your dog misses out on an opportunity to eat a real bone.

- Add veggies and fruits from your own meals so you're not buying extra.
If you have a very big dog you might need some extra things and if you tend to eat the same foods, you might need to buy some more variety for your dog, but in general, this is a no brainer.

- Look out for specials.
The key is variety so buying what's on special might accidentally make you provide variety to your dog.

For this 50kg dog, I got his daily meal to $14.70+veggies.

Do you think that's fair for such a large dog?

This is for you 💙

If I had a dollar for every time someone said "I saw on YouTube to…" and it was actually WRONG for THEIR dog, I would not be writing this post. I'd be on a big acreage somewhere warm, with lots of animals 😝

Looking to YouTube for help and guidance in maintaining or grooming your dog is certainly not a bad idea, but there are lot's of things you need to know that are individual to your dog to be successful in what you're trying to achieve.

In a time where everyone is an expert, it can be difficult to decipher what information you should and shouldn't listen to.

With 15+ years experience grooming dogs, I am still constantly learning new things. Working with different dogs provides new learning opportunities and experience when I encounter similar dogs or situation in the future.

If you would like REAL, individualised help learning to do anything you would like help with, please reach out and organise a 1-on-1 class with me! It could really help you and your dog.

Prevent matting, maintain your dog's nails, keep eye-gunk at bay, learn to inspect your dog's paw pads - anything that makes life with your dog easier 💙

Classes are tailored to YOU and what YOU need. From 30mins right up to 3h.

Oh my gosh, remember when I had really short hair?

Anyway, I found it really hard to find good products for my itchy dog and now that I have, I'm including everything I have found to be effective in my online store so you'll always have access to good products 💙

These products have been used on all of my clients dog's for the past 5 years which means I have gotten really good at knowing what works for different dogs in different cases so if you need any advice, please don't hesitate to reach out. 👌

My dog used to have really itchy skin, to the point that he would lick so much that his skin had become hairless, thick and black in some areas.

We all know Omega 3 is good for skin conditions, so I would give my dog canned Sardines (a good source of Omega 3) once a week in an attempt to help with his skin.

However, I never really noticed any changes until he started eating a proper fresh-food diet, including fresh whole fish.

If you, too, are struggling to see any changes to your dog's skin condition, it might be time to try a more appropriate diet.
If you're already on some kind of fresh food diet but not getting anywhere with your dog's skin, you might like to contact a Canine Nutritionist to ensure it is suitable for your dog and your health goals for them.

You can pick up whole fish from most fish stores or markets; otherwise, I buy mine from .raw
If you'd like to give them a try, you can use my discount code "ORGANIX" at checkout💙

My little old man sporting 100% plastic-free, h**p and organic cotton dog collars!

I completely understand that there are use and convenience factors surrounding plastic collars and leads, but it has been my mission for a long time now to reduce (well, eliminate) my plastic consumption, and when there is a benefit for my dog as well, I just can't justify it.

I love these because:
- They're comfortable
- Easy to take on and off
- Washable
- Plastic-Free
- Hypoallergenic
- Eco-friendly
- Supports small biz
- B-Corp Certified Brand
- 5% is donated to Animal Rescue + the environment

Available in the Organix Store

Brand: .australia

Oh the lengths marketers will go to trick you into buying their products…

I had a client excitedly tell me they had switched to a raw food brand, called Lyka. If you're familiar with Lyka, you will know this isn't a raw food product.

While I'm not picking on Lyka in particular, it just goes to show how wording can become confusing when it's paired with other descriptive words like "fresh, healthy, gently, lightly, seasoned etc."

A true fresh, raw food diet is either bought raw and uncooked, say from a butcher, or uncooked and frozen.

Considering the digestive system of the dog, fresh, raw food is the BEST way for your dog to receive nutrients, promoting overall health and well-being. It was the only way to feed your dog until around the 50s when processed dog food became cool…

One type of processed dog food that sounds cooked, but isn't, is Freeze Dried food.
Freeze-dried dog food (assuming all ingredients are ONLY freeze dried and have not had any other process applied), is the closest you can currently get to a bag of dry food. Since it is dried without the use of heat, it retains most of the necessary digestive enzymes and nutrients with roughly 97% remaining intact.

What do I feed my dog?
Only the best, of course! haha but seriously, I have found to be the best raw dog food you can get due to their freshness, ethics and product options.

I am lucky enough to be affiliated with the company and have personally spoken to the lovely owner. So if you would like to try an amazing dog food, please use my code "ORGANIX" for 10% off your first order.

If you don't know how to switch to a raw dog food from a processed dog food, please contact a qualified Canine Nutritionist to ensure you do so safely as there are some nuances for dogs that have been eating processed food for a long time 💙

Have you ever thought about what fabric is in your dog's environment?

There's this really interesting study that re-surfaced a little while ago about the effects of polyester on the hormones of the reproductive system.

The study got a bunch of dogs and clothed them in polyester pants, wool pants, cotton pants and, the control group, wearing no pants.

Research on the dogs wearing polyester pants showed negative impacts on their reproductive hormones and fertility. In males it showed reduced s***m count and motility and testicular degeneration. In females it showed lower progesterone levels, failure to conceive both natural and using AI and an increase in miscarriage in the first month of pregnancy.

The good news? It was largely reversible once the polyester pants were removed. Taking roughly 7 months for normal hormones levels to return.

Control groups (cotton, wool or no pants) stayed healthy throughout the study.

The hypothesis is that the Polyester creates an electrostatic field that can interfere with hormone production.

Now, if we take that in account and the fact that synthetic fibres have long been known to cause skin allergies and dermatitis, we can take away that natural fibres are best!

In saying that, I bet you've never looked at your dogs lead or bedding?

I have found the most hypoallergenic collars and leads available. They are completely plastic free and use h**p fabric so if your dog is prone to allergies or gets itchy, if you would like to prevent any skin irritations, I would highly recommend swapping out any synthetic fibres your dog comes into contact with to a natural fibre.
